Talk:De Stijl (album)

Jack's songwriting skills really matured on "De Stijl", probably as a result of the breakup with Meg."Truth Doesn't Make A Noise" in particular is one of the finest songs he has written so far. It represents a marked improvement over "The White Stripes". I have a question how could this be recorded after it was released. I think the fact box is wrong.

dates
according to this page the album was released before it was recorded. Released 	June 20, 2000 Recorded 	January 2001

so if anyone knows the actual release and recording dates they should fix this (I assume they are opposite of what they should be)--Tainter 06:50, 8 December 2005 (UTC)

Pronunciation
The article says the title is pronounced "duh-STILE," but that's still a bit ambiguous. Is "Stile" pronounced like "style" or "steel?" Funnyhat 23:10, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

The 'ij' in 'stijl' represents the same diphthong as 'eil' does in the French word 'pareil'. It is basically the vowel 'e' as in English 'pet' followed immediately by a semi-consonant 'y' sound as in 'year'. I don't know how to explain this in simpler terms. 194.171.56.2 13:28, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

Recording location(s) inconsistent
The main article for The White Stripes says that De Stijl was recorded in Jack White's living room. They provide 2 citations. The album article for De Stijl says it was recorded at Third Man Studios, no citation provided.

It's entirely possible that it was recorded using both locations (or, alternately, Third Man Studios may have been located in Jack White's living room?). However, a citation for Third Man is needed; if the citations for the living room look accurate, this should be added to the De Stijl article. Likewise, if someone has an accurate source for Third Man, this should be added to the main White Stripes article.
